Gaston
* Gaston, Stinky Pete and Clayton found their forever home together with wonderful people! Yay!*
When Windsor Humane Society reached out asking if we could take some of the more than 80 rats that had been surrendered to them, we were happy to bring Gaston, Jafar, Scar, Stinky Pete, Ratigan and Clayton into the Ladybird family. We’d like to thank their volunteer transport for bringing these babies directly to Spencer Creek Animal Hospital for their first check up.
The boys are a little shy, but not too scared to be handled. They were given a clean bill of health at their vet visit, and now they’re ready for their forever homes!
Ratigan, Jafar and Scar found their forever home, but Gaston, Stinky Pete and Clayton are still waiting.
Rats need friends, so we’re asking that these boys be adopted together. They love to snuggle up with each other in their hammocks, and they have great fun chasing each other and playing in their cage. They’ll need a patient adopter who will be able to spend time with them to try to help them get over their shyness, but we don’t think it will take too long. They’re lovely boys and we hope they can find their forever home soon!
Ladybird recommends Critter Nation cages. They are hands down the most spacious, and best quality enclosure for small animals on the market. They come in single and double sizes, and can be modified and customized to create enrichment and provide comfort. Their design and solid manufacturing almost entirely eliminates the possibility of accidental escape. Critter Nation cages are available (or can be ordered) at most local pet supply stores.
Can’t adopt but want to help?
Monetary donations are always needed, but if you’d like to donate something specifically for the rats in our care, donations of rat food, small pet blankets (used for cage lining), rat hammocks and fleece liners for Critter Nation cages are very much appreciated!
